Your reply makes zero sense. People at Microsoft Game Studios are not the ones working on that Surface device, so no focus would have been taken away. They went through the trouble of testing 1200 games and concluded that gaming is no use case? Yeah, no.

You can test for a use case that you’re not optimized for just to prove it’s possible. Which is what it sounds like they’re doing.

What I’m saying is that their primary business case out of the gates is enterprise and consumer laptops and mid/high-tier tablets, and they are not explicitly targeting gaming at the moment as a core use case for Snapdragon X.
